For IT teams, Surveillint 5 is the first PSIM solution to monitor network health as well as integrate with ArcSight SIEM Platform.

"Surveillint helps solve your incident management problems today," said Larry Lien, vice president, product management for Proximex. "Surveillint is known for delivering the quickest set up and deploy times, highest scalability, availability and failover capabilities, and the most robust integrations in the PSIM industry. New features to Surveillint 5 continue to broaden the view of the security environment so operators can proactively manage problems from related systems that affect security operations. This results in more reliable and improved security response."

For security operators, Surveillint 5 lets users better visualize incidents, assess situations and manage resources accordingly. It adds more functionality to support a company's environment and security processes for more comprehensive incident management. In all, Surveillint 5 now supports more than 90 subsystem integrations, 90 business logic activities and increased scalability for the largest enterprise and urban environments. In addition, a new mobile client and integration with Cisco IPICS 4.0 expands Surveillint's reach to field officers via mobile devices, including iPhone and Windows Mobile.

"Proximex will also help prepare your business for the future," continued Lien. "With budgets tightening, both physical and logical security departments must work together for the benefit of the organization.

Finally, Surveillint 5 offers support for ArcSight SIEM Platform for logical security, making it also the first PSIM solution to enable correlation of events and information from physical, logical and network security systems to catch coordinated security attacks.
